Thank you so much for the detailed comment. ๐๐
I actually spent the majority of the jam time just being indecisive ๐ Only started playing with particle effects in the last 2-3 days to achieve something beautiful, and here we are. Really glad you liked it.
Also, I checked it out. You're right, the looping gif really does kinda ruin the vibe when not playing the game in fullscreen. Replaced it with a static image. Thanks for the valuable feedback.
